Getting Started

Everything you need to set up your Kounisou account and start coaching.

Creating Your Coach Account

Sign up at kounisou.com and select "I am a Coach" during registration. You'll be guided through a 3-step onboarding:

  1. Business Info — Your business name, specialties (bodybuilding, weight loss, sports performance, etc.), and certifications.
  2. Experience — Years of experience and a short bio that clients will see on your profile.
  3. Discovery — Optionally enable your profile on our trainer discovery marketplace so new clients can find you. Set your location, training modalities (online, in-person, hybrid), and price range.

After onboarding, you'll land on your coach dashboard — ready to invite your first client.

Setting Up Your First Client

There are three ways clients can join:

  1. Invite Link — Go to Dashboard → Clients → Invite. Copy the invite link and share it with your client. When they sign up, they're automatically connected to you.
  2. Discovery — If you've enabled discovery, clients can find and connect with you through the trainer marketplace.
  3. Manual Add — Add a client by email from your Clients page. They'll receive an invitation email.

Once connected, you'll see the client on your roster. Set up their profile, assign a workout program, and configure their macro targets.

Building Your First Workout Program

Navigate to Dashboard → Workouts → New Program. You have two options:

  • Build manually — Add workout days, then add exercises from the 200+ exercise library. Set reps, sets, rest times, RPE targets, and coaching notes.
  • Generate with AI — Go to AI Tools → Workouts. Enter your client's goal, experience level, equipment, and schedule. The AI generates a complete periodized program in seconds.

After building the program, assign it to a client from the Workouts page using the "Assign" button.

Configuring Your Coach Profile

Your coach profile is your public-facing page at kounisou.com/coach/your-handle. Configure it in Settings:

  • Profile tab — Photo, bio, specialties, certifications
  • Branding tab — Primary color, logo, banner image
  • Packages tab — Create coaching packages with pricing, features, and billing periods

Share your profile link on social media, in your email signature, or on your website to attract new clients.
